Panther let out an annoyed huff and wrapped his suit jacket around my shoulder.

“It’s cold. Please watch yourself.”

“I am watching myself, and I look good, right, Laine?” I asked my lawyer. He patted me on my back with a forced smile on his face. “Panther is right, it’s a change of environment, and we don’t want you getting sick.

“To keep an eye on you,” Stanfield spoke while he lowered his head. I chuckled and gave Laine and Panther a look, which they had immediately understood. “I’ll see you later,” Laine spoke and took his exit.

Panther looked from me to Stanfield before he shot him a dismayed look. “I’ll be in the car, Marvin.”

I waited until Panther was out of sight, and so did Stanfield.

“Don’t worry, I’ll deliver the message, just like you’ve asked me to, Stanfield told me. “It’s your last request, so I’ll do you a favor.”

“Thanks.”
